MaxLinear, Inc. Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers SP336EET-L/TR

The SP336EET-L/TR is a versatile monolithic serial multi-transceiver from Quarktwin Technology Ltd. that supports both RS-232 and RS-485/RS-422 communication protocols. It features a software-selectable configuration with eight operating modes, allowing for flexibility in applications such as dual-mode serial ports and mixed mode ports. The device operates on a single supply voltage of either 3.3V or 5V and requires only four external capacitors for its charge pump. This transceiver includes robust ESD protection of ±15kV, ensuring reliability in harsh environments. It can accommodate up to four RS-232 drivers and receivers or two RS-485/RS-422 drivers and receivers, with support for full or half duplex configurations. The advanced failsafe protection prevents oscillation in unconnected inputs, and the pin-programmable slew rate control helps reduce electromagnetic interference. The SP336EET-L/TR is packaged in a 28-pin SOIC format, making it suitable for various applications, including factory automation, industrial control networks, and serial protocol translation.
